We wish we could be there with you tomorrow , but our arrangements have fallen through. Know that our thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Dear Messina Family, I am very sorry to learn of Dom's passing. I have many fond memories of him. Most notably was his encouragement regarding my softball "skills". Your backyard was the most perfect place to play softball. The tree, utility pole and corner of the single car garage made great 1st, 2nd and 3rd bases. Homeplate was right outside the backdoor. (That may have been the corner of the picnic table?) Once when I hit the ball Dom said, "You hit that a country mile!" The many trips to Page Park still come to the forefront of my memories. He was a great man. Because of these positive memories, I made sure that I brought my own children to the park when they were little. My own daughter loved playing softball, herself. Dom continued the "going to the park" tradition in the fall of 1990 when we lived near them. I think three of Mary's children were living with Dom and Helen at the time. So, Dom, whom my children called Nanu, took them along with his own grandchildren to Page Park as well as the Children's farm. He would pull up vegetables from the garden there and give them to the children in order to feed the horses. It is a great man who can leave lovely memories to 3 generations.
